UNMARRHING OLD JOHN BALRn
Judge Doaehue Relieves hin or his wife ~
Well OF the Charge Of Insanity.

Judgc Doashue Relieves hin or his Wife ~
Well rs of the Charge Of Insanity.
After John Baird the octogenarian ele-
waited railroad engineer, who Ia worth half q
million. had got out OF the insane asylum to
which his family had had him sent, he sued his
wife, Elizabeth T.. for annulment Of the mar
riage. Judge Donohue annulled It yesterday.
The case is q curious one. Mr.. Baird Is q
Scotchman. He made his fortune for himseli
For many years he suffered from u facilitating
disease. which from time to time FRUSTRATED
him. In 1879 his first wife died. She had been
q sufferer for some time, and the woman whom
Mr.. Baird made his second wife was her nurse
and companion. He married this woman in
1880. She had formerly been married. but had
procured q divorce from her husband in New
Jersey upon the ground Of abandonment. It
was said at the time that Mr. Baird had some
thing to do with the procuring OF this divorce.
In 1882 Mr.. Baird and his wife went to Scot
land to visit tho home OF his boyhood. She
says that she soon found that he was suffering
from mental trouble, He proclaimed himself
the heir OF A. T. Stewart and II. L. Stuart. Re-
turning home. according to the testimony in the
insanity proceeding. lie charged that ex-J Judge
Hilton and others were endeavoring to procure
children in. this conspiracy. Later he con-
ceived the idea that he had committed an I'M
man, and from that time. he refused to have
any relations with his wife. He became very
extravagant,andsp spent money layishly, whereas
formerly he had been very economical. He had
dinners with many courses prepared at his
TO sit down with him and eat. He became
sleopless at might and refused to permit his
family to take their needed rest. It was his
habit to quote Scripture to them all daily, and
at night he would summon all the members Of
his family from their rooms into his presence
and require them to ROMAN and listen to his
reading OF the Bible. AT. one time he put q
note for $4,000 in the collection at DR.. John
Halls church.
Finally. his family had. him put in the SEN
ford Hall Asylum. Flushing. His brother in
stituted proceedings to get him out. The
Sherifrs jury found that he was incompetent
to manage himself or his affairs, but that find
Ing was subsequently set aside by Judge
Donohue.
Then Baird began proceedings to have his
second marriage annulled upon the ground
that his wifes former husband was living at
the time Of the marriage. She defended the
Chnncery in New Jersey. The result Of the
suit is in Mr. Baird's favor. the Court finding
that her decree OF divorce was not legal, mas
much as she obtained 1t upon the ground Of
abandonment, she being q resident Of New
